Denethor

The Steward of Gondor and the House of Anarion, Denethor was the chief leader of the people of Gondor in the Third Age. Though a cunning and clever man, by the time of the War of the Ring, by admission of his own son, Boromir, his rule was failing, his judgment eroded by use of the Palantir of Minas Tirith. Nevertheless, he commands the hosts of Gondor, rallying the defenses of the White City.
